This sounds just like New Zealand,except teachers get paid more than priests,I do not know howmany hours or days a prist works ,but I see churches on prime real estate and they pay no land rates or taxes as they are classed as a charity I think to themselves.while a house owner and worker pays both,something is very wrong.Maybe I should start my own religionmay be I could call it the evolutionary church and worship the replicating molecule.

That is exactly what went wrong with Pakistan. I talked to a young pakistani, who's father was a school teacher barely surviving, and they have untold Mullahs with plenty of financial scaffolding, usually from Saudi Arabia, ruining the place. Frightful the think the USA is the christian equivalent of that, religion, and bad versions thereof, replacing education. Ewww.

And so everyone can look after themselves, also the top paid civil servant in most states is the FOOTBALL coach not your best scientist or surgeon. totally mad

Need to get Religious Right influence out of our schools.
